We find, from individual reports from
members of our body from the various dis
tricts OF the county that the roads are, as a
rule, in as good condition as usual at this
time OF year but bad at best We see little
prospect Of their beng ever put in better
shape unless q more effective wiser and
more equitable road-law is devised than the
present one, and no prospect of their re-
naming even in as good condition as they
| are now in, unless the present law under
which we work, in absence Of better one,
is enforced to the letter. We find that the
iaut in the administration OF the present
road law Les not so much at the door OF the
road Commissioners or even of the road
oyerSeers rs at that of the road hands them
selves. In most instances the Commission
erS seem DESTROYS of carrying out the pro
vision Of the law, but the opposition appears
to come from the hands who, from iguor-
ance or otherwise, throw every obstacle in
their way. We recommend that the Court
enforce rigidly upon the Commissioners the
necessity of calling upon their respective
overseers to work the roads each year to
the full limit OF the law fifteen DAYS aunu-
ally -and that the hands be put upon no
tice from the Bench that this is necessary
and obligatory in order to give to the PEG
Pile OF Cobb county, roads equal to the ne
cessties OF growing, popuious and pro
gresSlve community, such as ours has be-
come. We realize that this is one Of the
most important questions upon which this
or any Grand Jury is called to pass, and we
urge tor ii that attention which it Justly
merits Were thirty days of work per year
expended upon each road within the county
limits for ten successive years under the
present system, hardly then would the roads
be put in condition capable of satisfying
the demands Of our increasing traffic upon
them
For the present, we recommend the en-
torcement of the present road law to its full
limit without exception, upon every road
in the county. Ii the law proves bad one,
let us invite the intelligence of the county
to devise new and better one Until this
is done it is the only one we have and we
seek its rigid enforcement.
We're the convicted criminals Of this
county OF sufficient number to warrant the
employment Of convict labor in place of the
present sys EN- We should unhesitatiugly re-
commend it, but we find that the annual
commitment Of eulprits who fail to pay
out is only about 10, number altogether
